A Miami-Dade elections worker was fired after a sealed bin and a sealed bag of ballots fell out of their truck and were discovered on the side of the road, according to the county’s elections department.
The elections department called it a case of human error. The worker forgot to lock the back of the truck and as they drove off, one sealed bin and one sealed bag fell out, containing already voted ballots from early voting.
The sealed containers with the ballots inside had already been scanned and tabulated at the South Dade Regional Library’s early voting site on Monday, according to the Miami Herald.
A driver spotted the bin and bag with the ballots near 211 Street and the Turnpike Extension in Cutler Bay, according to a video posted by OnlyInDade.
Lmao. At least they were already counted. Now, if it comes down to a 2000 style election and these need to be recounted for awarding the electoral votes? Yikes.
They were already counted until some buffoon goes “Oh noe this is fraudulent, you need to go recount all the paper copies. Oh what do you mean you lost a bunch of paper copies? Those votes are invalid now, too bad teehee”
And then, when it looked like Gore might win, anyway, the Supreme Court just halted the recount altogether and declared bush the winner.
Unfortunately, Florida isn’t even considered a swing state anymore. The only way this becomes an issue is if somehow Harris wins the state and it’s all because of Miami-Dade cancelling out most of the rest of the state.
Harris winning Florida, 0 to slim chance. Miami-Dade being the reason, impossible.
